bonus payments

Rewards beyond salary

Bonus payments are extra compensation beyond regular wages or salary, typically awarded for performance, meeting targets, or as year-end incentives.

Companies use bonus payments to reward employees, retain talent, or share profits: The sales team received substantial bonus payments after exceeding quarterly goals.

The phrase emphasizes the plural—multiple such payments or payments to multiple recipients.
